    Motor swap "es" into "is"

    Ok guys i have a question about a "es" motor swap into a 1989 "is" body. The "is" body has the "is" wiring harness ,ecu, and sensors and the "is" motor can rev alittle higher than the "es". 1. so the question is should i use the "is" intake maifold and afm or the "es" one when i do the swap? 2. also should i switch ecu's so that it cant over rev and harm the "es" motor. 3. also another question is there a differance in cam size between the two and witch one is bigger? 4. and final question is what would i have to swap in the "es" motor to take the higher reving. would i just need to change the valve springs to the double "is" valve springs or would i need to change the valve spring and cam. thanks you for your time and experience hopefully some one can shed some light on this. my goal here is to have a es motor have the same rev limit as a "is"

    Why would you put in an e motor. Your doing alot of work for a poor engine hp wise. Why not pull a m50/m52 and get similar mpgs and twice the hp.

      And the higher rev in a es is not possible by my understanding, it would melt the engine.

                      Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. I'm baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

                        Wow what the hell. seriously .............. im asking these questions becuase i havent found a i motor. and m50 swap is alittle out of the price range. also building a stroker means putting a i head on a e block. so the questions i had for putting a i cam and i double valve spring into a e head isnt really a stupid question.
